A Sudden Reunion [JotaKak]

Where it all began..

5:28pm, Morioh

"Josuke!" Okuyasu grabbed his friend by the sleeve, dragging him out of the way of an incoming bullet. He stood alongside Josuke, Rohan, and Mr. Kujo. The older man gave Josuke a brief glance before focusing back on the enemy before them.

The enemy stand user, Toharu Wataru stood without a scratch, his stand, Collective Soul had the devastating ability to remove the soul of a person and render them in a death-like state for 12 seconds at a time. After that, they would be weak as their energy was sapped from them. They had only found this out when Rohan was shot moments prior, his body crumbling to the ground and throwing their team off.

"AHAHAHA! NO ONE CAN WITHSTAND MY COLLECTIVE SOUL!" He laughed, his stand standing behind him, its arm resting on his shoulder as it held the gun that could easily put them out of commission. The other was limp at its side as Rohan's last-ditch effort to contribute to the battle was to put one of their arms out of the game.

Okuyasu's stand, The Hand revealed itself, erasing the space between the two. A single gunshot rang out. Okuyasu dodging it just in time.
"Okuyasu!" A voice shouted from down the block. The person turned the corner to reveal Koichi, who ran towards the group as fast as he could.
"What happened to Rohan?!" He spared the man a worried glance as he scrunched his eyebrows weakly.
"Focus Koichi!" Jotaro shouted at him, a hand outstretched, pointing at the enemy.
"Do you really think a child is going to save you now?" He cackles, Collective Soul shooting a bullet at the group who dodges it again. The sound of a ricocheting bullet registered in Josuke's mind a moment too late.

"Star Platinum! The World!"

Time stops. Jotaro walks to Josuke, the incoming bullet just a few inches from his skin. Star takes the bullet in his hand, aiming it at Toharu instead with a glare. Jotaro returns to his spot, mentally sighing in slight relief.

Time resumes.

"AGH-" He attempts to stand and keep his composure before crumbling to his knees.
"You.." he growls, Collective Soul raising their hand once more.
"You'll pAY!"
It was too soon to use The World again. Star could easily catch the bullet if he-

"MR KUJO!"

A distraction. A small distraction was all it took for him to register the flaming pain in his chest. He stays standing, glaring at a smirking Toharu with a burning hatred. His consciousness began to slip...

'Stay standing...do. not. move. Jotaro, you're the adult, be strong! You've endured worse than this. ENDURE IT!' He shouted in his mind, failing to recognize that his voice seemed to detach from his consciousness. He felt..light. Like the weight of the world was...gone...
